# JSON_NOEXCEPTION
```cpp
#define JSON_NOEXCEPTION
```
Exceptions can be switched off by defining the symbol `JSON_NOEXCEPTION`. When defining `JSON_NOEXCEPTION`, `#!cpp try`
is replaced by `#!cpp if (true)`, `#!cpp catch` is replaced by `#!cpp if (false)`, and `#!cpp throw` is replaced by
`#!cpp std::abort()`.
The same effect is achieved by setting the compiler flag `-fno-exceptions`.
## Default definition
By default, the macro is not defined.
```cpp
#undef JSON_NOEXCEPTION
```
## Notes
The explanatory [`what()`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/error/exception/what) string of exceptions is not
available for MSVC if exceptions are disabled, see [#2824](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/discussions/2824).
## Examples
??? example
The code below switches off exceptions in the library.
```cpp
#define JSON_NOEXCEPTION 1
#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
...
```
